Sep 26, 2020 at 13:40 comment added bmike When you say you deleted all volumes in recovery, that’s not sufficient - you need to erase the entire disk in my experience to Big Sur back to Catalina. See my answer on the erase steps. You need a new APFS container, not to empty contents inside the one you had.
